Which "Renter agreement Contract" do owners use?

Some owners don't even bother with formal agreements at all, which is both foolish and unfair to BOTH parties (at least in my personal opinion). A formal agreement spells out everything about the rental in very clear and specific detail, including payment details and deadlines, cancellation / refund policy, specific check-in and check out dates and times, unit number, no sub-lease permitted, minimum age, unit occupancy limit, no pets allowed, etc. There is no credible possibility of ANY "misunderstandings" when BOTH parties sign a solid contract with crystal clear terms and conditions addressing ALL aspects of the rental.

You can find "short term lease" (rental agreement) templates with relative ease by searching around on the Internet, or you can just purchase one online directly from the magazine Timesharing Today (see http://www.tstoday.com; I think they charge $20 for a rental agreement template and $30 for a purchase and sale agreement template). RedWeek offers a sample agreement at no cost, but in my opinion that sample agreement needs work, as it fails to address cancellation / refund matters in the event of unexpected resort closure due to storm damage or other force majeure circumstances (matters outside the influence or control of owner OR prospective tenant).
